A/N: Wee! Thanks for reading! I apologize for how short this first chapter is...am in a middle of a government exam (yep, am in deeeeeep shit, and still doing this XDD), but I'll update as soon as possible! Also apologies for grammar mistakes, lack of interesting storyline and maybe some OOC-ness (tried hard to keep them in character though, sniffles!) *deep bow* nevertheless hope you'll enjoy this fic!
I don't know since when did it happened.
Ever since the war stole my family from me? Or ever since I was being left no choice but to join the never-ending war as a Shinobi to keep my life going?
Perhaps both.
Either way as long as I can remember, I forgot the meaning of living. I didn't even know why I'm still alive even until now.
The thing which was in my chest, if I could remember, had been missing, or even if it exists at the first place. I can't find it. It left a hole in me.
Life, it's meaningless now. Yet we still have to go on and fight for nothing, no reason in particular.
Maybe it's because that's my…
忍びの運命
Fate as a Shinobi
"Sasuke!" the master of the house shouted in wrath, again. The young boy nonchalantly turned around to look at him, mentally prepared to be sent flying across the ground just because he held back his last attack to the enemy. And yes, he did. "What did we taught you about holding back?! Even if it's your kin, friend or ally, when facing one as enemy you are never to hold back! You will be officially working as Shinobi starting tomorrow! Any failures will not be tolerated!"
His opponent, a girl, watched with her eyes wide. She was lying on the ground, severely hurt enough by the boy. Sasuke sat up and wiped the blood oozing from his lips without saying anything.
"P-Please master, if he did not hold back, I would have-"
"My apologies. This will not happen again."
The master gave him a glare before walking off; eyeing on other Shinobi's mistakes so that he could send someone flying again.
The blonde girl watched Sasuke as he stood and cracked his neck. "Why did you…"
Sasuke walked past Kasuga and out of the room without saying anything, leaving the girl staring after his back till he got out of sight. He was tired of all these. No matter how good he did, he will never get praised or acknowledged.
No point trying so hard.
The young Shinobi absent mindedly strayed out from the training grounds and went into the forest. He loved the place, it was calm and quiet where no one can disturb him. Now to think of it the forest was his hiding place right after his family was killed, until he met his master by fate who brought him into the Shinobi clan and trained him as one.
If only he didn't lose his family…he would've…would've…
…
…he would have…what?
Does he even know what will it be with family? Will he be happier? If so, how will he attain it? Does it make any difference if he stayed with his family?
It's been so long, he forgot that warmth with what people called his closest kin. If it ever exists, though.
Sasuke jumped to a bark of a tree effortlessly. Lying on his back, staring at the sunlight that shone through the gaps of leaves, he closed his eyes and blocked everything from his sight.
It's better like this…to be alone…
Forever.
Yeh. This emo-ness of Sasuke will soon be explained further in later chapters XDD thank you for reading! *deep bow*
